Chapter 2537: Super Item - Reversal Ring
The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but the metal shards floating around him instantly closed in, with a few nearly pressing against his eyeballs!
The surge of emotion from a moment ago instantly cooled down. The middle-aged man held his breath, not even daring to blink.
At this moment, the players from Zone 001 finally came to their senses. The mini-boss within this super instance venue wasn't something the district government could casually command. Even when the super player was still alive, the Zone 001 players might not have gotten the better of it. The reason it and its kind still bothered to look after Zone 001 was purely out of friendship with the super player.
The Big Head Doll was still cursing, first berating the people of Zone 001 for being useless, then scolding them for having no discernment—bringing a bunch of incompetents and messing up his home. Only out of respect for the dead had he not kicked them all out. Now that there was a chance to leave, were they deaf to human speech? If they truly couldn't understand, they could go die.
Items with self-awareness, whether super items or special items, or possessing intelligence equivalent to a human of any age, didn't mean they were easy to mess with. The Painting Woman had often been tricked before, but that didn't mean she lacked combat power. Among the conscious items Xu Huo had encountered, Mr. Dong was a representative example. Though he usually dressed as a butler, he didn't hesitate to kill. The biggest characteristic of these items was that even though they seemed human, they completely lacked human emotions. From a certain perspective, it was merely a disguise.
So they had no concept of "love me, love my dog." Although these Zone 001 people had entered because of the super player, the super player was the super player, and Zone 001 was Zone 001. The connection between the two didn't mean the Big Head Doll had to take care of them.
"Are you leaving or not?" The Big Head Doll twisted his brows, staring at Qiu Xiangming and the others.
What else could Qiu Xiangming and his group say? No matter how many items they had, they couldn't outnumber the metal objects in this city.
The Big Head Doll huffed and turned back, hands on his hips, looking down at Xu Huo with his chin. "What do you want?"
"Give me two more items," Xu Huo said. "The relic area is basically a super instance. Walking around here is bound to be somewhat dangerous. A space-traveling item alone can't guarantee my safety. Or you could give me some kind of token I can use when I encounter other bosses."
"What you say makes sense," the Big Head Doll said, stroking his chin. "But I have a lot of enemies, you know. Are you going to go kill them for me?"
No wonder the same instance had to be divided into so many spaces. If they met every day, this instance wouldn't be usable anymore.
"Then give me something else," Xu Huo said. "You're very powerful at controlling metal. Do you have a similar item?"
The Big Head Doll stared at him through the bubble. "Why would I need an item to control metal?"
Xu Huo nodded. "Just give me whatever you have."
The Big Head Doll reached into his own belly and fished out a string of items tied together with thread. He picked through them, sometimes reluctant, sometimes shaking his head—clearly very conflicted.
The Painting Woman leaned in and pointed at one of the finger-sized bubble items. "What's this?"
"You're so ignorant. This is a Talking Bubble," the Big Head Doll said smugly. "Little Head gave it to me. I can store my words inside it."
"Who's Little Head?" The Painting Woman's eyes sparkled as she looked at the bubble.
The Big Head Doll warily stuffed the bubble back into his belly. "Little Head is Little Head. He made this home for me here."
From what he said, the "Little Head" he mentioned was probably the super player.
As if afraid the Painting Woman would make an excessive request, he casually grabbed two items from the string and tossed them to Xu Huo. "Here, take these. Don't ask for anything else. The rest are my favorites!"
[Righteous Halo: Special Item. A support item that can double the effect of any attack or defense item. Simply use it in combination to achieve unexpectedly wonderful results.]
[Metal Clay: Special Item. It can turn most metal objects within its effective range into shapes corresponding to the metal clay.]
Xu Huo immediately stored both items in his item slot, smiling as he said, "I do feel bad about messing up your home. I have some special metals here too. Not a lot, but they're fun to play with."
He took out the "Snowflake Grand Hotel." The players he had killed earlier had plenty of things in their luggage compartments. Almost everyone hoarded valuable ores and metals. Xu Huo was interested in precious ores, so he kept the more valuable ones in his own luggage compartment. As for other precious metals, he had originally saved them in case he needed them later. Giving them to the Big Head Doll wasn't a bad idea.
The Big Head Doll didn't hold back at all. With a raise of his hand, all the metal blocks piled in the hotel room flew out. There were indeed a few he liked, and he immediately hugged several of them. "I want to set these into my bed to sleep on."
"We have these metals too..." a Zone 001 player couldn't help muttering quietly. Did Zone 001 lack metal ores?
The Big Head Doll heard him. "Then why didn't you give them to me! What you said earlier doesn't count. I won't just fix the house. You have to rebuild my entire home out of metal!"
Qiu Xiangming sucked in a breath and looked back at his companions. Building a metal city with Zone 001's resources was naturally a trivial matter, but what meaning was there for the district government to use so much precious metal to construct a small venue within an instance? None at all!
But he didn't dare speak, neither refusing nor agreeing.
The Big Head Doll didn't interact with people often. He felt that if he made a request and the other party didn't refuse, that meant they agreed. But the Painting Woman understood. She patted the Big Head Doll's head. "They don't want to build you a metal city, so they're staying silent to try and bluff their way through."
The Big Head Doll's voice suddenly turned shrill. "You're trying to trick me!"
The suspended metal began to ravage the space without restraint. Qiu Xiangming and the others were soon engulfed in a storm of metal.
Watching them retreat further and further, Xu Huo said, "I'm going to get the item," and left the area.
Entering the final teaching space, Xu Huo replicated the spatial entity on display. When the black passage appeared again, he deconstructed the space door and took the item inside.
A black ring fell into his palm.
[Congratulations, player Passerby A, for obtaining the super item "Reversal Ring."]
[This is a space item that allows free travel through space. It enables the holder or the target of the item to instantly extract themselves from the current space and teleport to a nearby space. Due to its special restrictions, the Reversal Ring operates based on district space as the fundamental unit and cannot designate a specific teleportation space.]
[Note: Because this item can only teleport within district spaces, it remains subject to the restrictions of uncleared instances.]
